For three years, the band from Brandenburg an der Havel has been making waves, primarily in the new federal states. Live, the band knows how to impress, and with their new record, which bears the beautiful name “Hinterland,” they also impress on vinyl. The recording comes across very well, even if the bass does rumble a bit too much here and there. However, that is the only complaint to be made. The guitar, drums, and especially the two-part vocals come across very well, very powerfully. The melodies are sophisticated yet catchy. BLUTIGER OSTEN are much more than just a simple Deutschpunk band. Musically, they often remind one of FAHNENFLUCHT but also sometimes of NO EXIT. Thanks to the intricate melodies, the album remains great even after multiple listens. The songs stick in your ear and don’t get on your nerves.
Lyrically, the band also knows how to please. Most of the lyrics are sophisticated Deutschpunk, angry with irony and provocation. Even the first song, the “Ostlerlied,” is simply great and holds a wonderful mirror up to the Wessis. Even though it is a country, prejudices unfortunately linger long in people’s minds. Also noteworthy is the only cover song on the album, “Animalier.” A great statement to all the vegetarians and vegans. Yes, and if you feel provoked now, then that is exactly what the band wants.
BLUTIGER OSTEN is not comfortable. BLUTIGER OSTEN hurts. BLUTIGER OSTEN are angry, and not because being angry is cool, but because of the circumstances in which we live. Even though one might think differently when hearing the song “Tourette,” perhaps it is exactly such songs that we should all heed. We, who still feel something. For us, it is BLUTIGER OSTEN. A really good punk rock album.
The first 2000 copies of “Hinterland” come in an elaborate digipack plus booklet. As good as the album is, it is likely to sell out quickly.
